Oblivion
Oblivion is Gardaland's dive coaster and, according to the park, one of its most feared rides. The Bolliger & Mabillard coaster opened in 2015. In the waiting times list it is called Oblivion The Black Hole.
The concept
A mysterious tunnel through space and time connects Earth with another dimension. The gravitational field is so strong that it sucks everything in: below you see the black hole. Your mission has already passed the point of no return, says the park.
The Experience
The wide train with six seats side by side stops at the top on the edge of the drop. For a moment you hang still, looking straight down. Then you plunge almost vertically more than 40 metres down into the hole at around 100 km/h. This is followed by two more inversions. You sit in a floorless train, so your legs dangle freely.
Discover Oblivion
Sit in the front row
In the front row you hang over the abyss before the drop, with nothing in front of you. That is where the wait at the edge lasts longest.
Leave your belongings behind
Phones, cameras, caps and glasses are not allowed on the train. Put them in the luggage compartment, which according to the park is not supervised.
Shorter queues
This ride is part of Gardaland Express, the park's paid fast track. You buy it on top of your ticket, online or in the park. You use it via the Gardaland Express app.
Visitor information
You must be between 1.40 and 1.95 metres tall. Mobile phones and cameras are not allowed on the ride, nor are glasses, caps and other loose items. During the ride a photo is taken that you can buy afterwards. Photos that are not sold are deleted by the park at the end of the day. People with back or heart conditions, high blood pressure or who are pregnant are not allowed to ride.
For true daredevils
Along with Raptor and Blue Tornado, Oblivion is in the line-up the park itself calls its most thrilling. By the coaster there is also a Coca Cola Freestyle point, where you can refill your cup after the fright.
